Verdict

A wide-open handicap chase with a chance taken on ASHJAN. On face value his losing run is a concern but he didn't shape all that badly when third at Sedgefield last month and, now returned to better ground/refitted with cheekpieces, it would come as no surprise to see a good showing. Low-mileage Fourth of July and Mah Mate Bob, from an easing mark, head up the dangers.

  1. ASHJAN
  2. FOURTH OF JULY (IRE)
  3. MAH MATE BOB (IRE)
